The UK Net Exported 817 Tons of Gold YTD

As I was scrolling through some european trade numbers I found these astonishing gold exports from the UK. Before I make a few long term charts on UK total gold trade (and from which countries this gold comes from and is been sent to), I just wanted to share the most important one. The UK, home of the LBMA and GLD, has net exported 817 tons in the first 6 months of 2013. That’s more than official reserves of ie India or Japan.
